Buffalo had clear conditions Monday, with a warm-up toward 67 by afternoon. The brief November bonus is set to stretch through Wednesday before a wetter, cooler pattern takes over.

Warm, Mostly Dry Weather Holds Through Wednesday

The National Weather Service forecasts a mostly sunny Monday with light southwest winds and almost no chance of rain. Tuesday could reach 70 degrees, although a few showers are possible Tuesday morning, before skies turn mostly cloudy.

Wednesday looks like the warmest day of the stretch, with partly sunny skies and a high near 73. That is an unusually mild setup for early November, and the Sunday’s earlier forecast already projected a mild Wednesday, with a high near 73 degrees.

Rain Arrives Wednesday Night

Rain showers are expected Wednesday night and could continue into Thursday, with a 60% chance of precipitation Wednesday night and showers likely Thursday.

Thursday should still climb to about 67 degrees, but Friday and Saturday will be cooler and showery, with highs near 63 and 58. Sunday brings a quieter finish to the forecast period, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 66.

No Alerts, But Dry Leaves Need Care

There are no watches, warnings or advisories posted for Buffalo in the National Weather Service forecast. Forecasters are still noting that dry leaf litter and other fine fuels remain vulnerable, so outdoor flames deserve extra caution before the rain arrives.
